Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack gannon government sucks. Suit of happiness. Radio is DeLux,
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Of a suit
of habin us on your radio, toil justice, cheeseburgers and
a libity rise at the food.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Huh hey, where are we here? Oh, let's start with this.
Grocery chains Kroger and Albertson are heading to court to
defend their planned twenty four point six billion dollar merger
from anti trust allegations. To put that number into perspective,
if you shopped at one of their stores with twenty

(00:42):
four point six billion dollars, you could have purchased up
to four avocados. So yeah, now it all makes sense, right.
Math is racist. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster. Hopefully you're not
a racist if you're watching or listening to this right now.
We're live on social media, but we're also live on
KPRC nine fifty in Houston KPRC Radio ninety four point
five three HD on your FM dial. You can also

(01:05):
subscribe to a podcast of this radio show and find
me on various social media platforms as long as we're
allowed to be on them. In fact, we're going to
talk about that this afternoon coming up in a little bit.
We're going to talk about censorship on social media in
a very unlikely person to come out and criticize it.
Somebody from the left is now defending people like you

(01:26):
and Donald Trump and so many other people, someone you
wouldn't have expected. I think someone doing it all a
bit reluctantly, but who knows. People have a change your
heart sometimes, So we'll talk about that. Daniel Turner will
be here this afternoon from Power the Future. Those of
you on Twitter might know who that is. Daniel Turner
is an author and an activist, and he just published
an article. We actually know what one of Kamala Harris's

(01:47):
policies are now and it involves gas stoves. Spoiler alert.
Shouldn't want you to have one, so stick around for that.
And Michael Quinn Sulivan stopping by from texascorecard dot com.
Three hundred thousand migrant children are missing right now. It
is pretty disgusting and it happened not under Donald Trump's watch,
under the Biden watch. In fact, while we're going to
end the show with that, I think in a way

(02:08):
we'll also start the show with it. I want to
start off by talking about border security Kamala Harris and
Axios the liberal media lie to you. They are lying
liars who lie for a living, and they get paid
for it, and they get paid very generously. Axios has
an article today, Well it's actually this was published a
little over a week ago. The headline reads as follows, Harris,

(02:31):
border confusion haunts her new campaign? What it haunts her
new campaign? And then the article goes on to explain
how she was never really the borders are now. Not surprisingly,
not long after publishing this, Axios got flagged the only
social media network that I think most people have access to. Twitter. Yeah,

(02:51):
people are on Telegram and Rumble and stuff, but those
platforms aren't quite as popular as X or Twitter. Axios
got hit with a community note for lying about Kamala
Harris being the borders are earlier this summer, and it
couldn't have come at a better time. I think it
was much needed. Kamala Harris just this week suddenly very
important for her to defend the border. Oh, it's so important.

(03:13):
In fact, if you're a resident of Texas like I am,
you may recall last week Colin alrid Ted, Cruz's opponent,
was reading off a list of some of his policy positions.
We played this SoundBite on the show yesterday, so I
won't bore you with it again, but Colin Alrid basically
concussion Beto. I like to call him the former NFL
football player that lives up in Dallas. He's no Beto Arourke.

(03:35):
So the media doesn't love him like they did Beto.
But it doesn't matter. I think he's still going to
lose to Ted Cruz. He's reading his policy positions last
week at the Democrat National Convention, and he's listing off
all the stuff you'd expect him to say, we need
more abortions and more rights for trans people, and then
they're yay abortions, trans And then he gets to border security,

(03:55):
and let's secure the border. You could have heard a
pin drop in the giant state where they were having
the DNC convention. People didn't know what to think. I'm sorry, what,
we're secure the border? Am I at the wrong convention? No,
you're at the right convention. But you couldn't blame people
for being confused because the leader of this political party,
one Kamala Harris, had a very different stance on border

(04:16):
security just a short time ago. Here she is four
years ago running for president before Joe Biden secured the nomination.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
This issue is about a vanity project for this president, right,
Donald Trump, and it is a problem of his own making. Right,
And listen, when I travel this country, folks have plenty
enough problems that they need their president to focus on
instead of a wall. That, by the way, because I
was a prosecutor for many years, including the Attorney general California,

(04:46):
I specialize on transnational criminal organization. Trans that wall, I'm
gonna stop them.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, hilarious, hilarious. No, we don't need to build a wall.
Why would guys, why would we build a wall? Walls
are racist. It's a vanity project. YadA, YadA, YadA. So
Biden takes over. We all remember what happened in twenty twenty.
Whatever you think of the election results, I think you'd
agree the Biden team is currently in charge right now.
Biden and Kamala decided that Donald Trump's border wall it

(05:14):
didn't need to be completed. Heck, we could disassemble it.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
It reveals a construction zone frozen in time. Steel border
wall ballards are left in stacks, and construction equipment sits
on staging grounds. Just weeks before President Biden was inaugurated,
the Trump administration pushed ahead to build a four mile
stretch of new border wall into the Patagonia Mountains. This

(05:39):
is the end of the road, about fifteen miles east
of Nogals, Arizona. This is as far as the border
wall construction got. And what you see now is this
carved outpath sitting next to the pristine, untouched.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Landscape, a giant cliff that you could fall off of.
And boy, that really unintentionally became kind of a metaphor
for Joe biden whole presidency, didn't it at any rate. Now,
Kamala is be's knees about border security. She just loves it.
She wants to secure that border. Let's get rid of
all these illegal immigrants. Well okay, well maybe they're not
going that far, but you don't have to look at

(06:13):
Axios every day and understand how absurd and ridiculous this is.
The editors at Breitbart put a pretty good summary of
it together, and basically what they pointed out here is
the people at axios or sheep or gerbowls or you
know whatever, pick whatever kind of a vegan mammal you
want them to be, they're spreading this absurd lie that
President Kaklie mcnever borders are as. John Noulty put it

(06:36):
is now in favor of completing Trump's southern border wall.
What four years ago you hated it. I don't understand.
Why is it okay now? Hell, look, a couple of
months ago they were all laughing at Donald Trump for
his idea about having no taxes for people working in
the service industry getting paid in tips, and now they
love that idea too. So if all they're going to

(06:58):
do is borrow Donald Trump's policies, it begs the question,
why don't you just vote for Donald Trump?

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Because Trump evil, red hat, bad orange man, no good. Anyway,
if you work at the Exeos office, it is my
understanding to the people that work there that apparently when
they walk in the door, there's like a little cubby
and they put their self respect in the cubby and
then they walk in and they're all in cubicles or whatever.
But anyway, this lying headline they just published reads Harris

(07:23):
flip flops on building the border Wall. I'll read a
little bit more to you because I do love satire.
Although I'm told that this is actually quite serious and
they're not kidding, they said. Quote. If she's elected president,
Kamalie Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars
on the wall along the southern border, a project she
once opposed and called an American Guys, even when they're

(07:45):
trying to help protect her narrative by giving you little
glimpses of what the truth is, they're still basically lying here.
As you'll see here, Axios accidentally admits in its own
headline that this is a lie. This is what happens
when you're a professional gerbil or sheep or lemming or
whatever it is that they are. The entire lie has

(08:05):
been constructed to make Kamala Harris seem like a normal,
reasonable person, right, But she's not. This is the same
woman that flip flopped on Medicare for All, for example.
She's lying about this, just like she lies about everything else.
When she gets into office, if she wins, do you
think she's going to finish building that border wall. That
borderwall that would prevent future Democrat voters from getting into

(08:26):
the country, That border wall that would prevent the CEOs
of giant, faceless corporations from hiring lots of cheap labor,
the very same CEOs that are actually funding her campaign
right now. No, she's not going to do that. Kamala
hasn't actually personally said anything about reserve, reversing these positions.
These are all things that we're hearing from people in

(08:48):
her campaign her, you know, people that are stumping for Kamala.
But Kamala is not actually telling us this. And let's
not forget that her campaign even said she reversed her
support for mass amnesty for what could be up to
thirty million Aile Democrats, basically decriminalizing illegal immigration. And as
we're going to discuss later in the show, three hundred
thousand migrant kids are missing right now because of Kamala

(09:10):
Harris's reckless border policies. So you tell me, do you
think she's being sincere? Look the sheep's clothing for this
bald phase lie that Kamal is suddenly in favor of
completing Trump's border wall is what's officially called the Emergency
National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Emergency National Security Supplemental

(09:31):
Appropriations Act. I like Ted Cruz's more accurate description of
it that this is total bull crap, and he's right.
This is the Orwellian named bill from the same people
that brought us the Inflation Reduction Act or what was it,
the Affordable Care Act, two laws that neither reduced inflation
nor did they make healthcare more affordable. And now they're

(09:52):
giving us the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act that
would actually allow thirty five thousand illegal aliens to enter
our country every week before triggering additional border controls. That's
one point eight million illegals per year. That's their compromise.
That's the reason why they say they want border security
and Republicans don't because they're lying. Shure, it is a

(10:15):
sar cousin right here. First seed, it's ha, We're.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
To host the show with a couple of knucklehells.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Can western gity? You ever feel like you're living in
groundhog Day the Bill Murray movie. I don't actually mean
the literal holiday. Some of these news stories they just
come back again. You're like, oh this again. I thought
we solved this already. We already figured out the children
in the border detention facilities weren't separated from their parents,
their parents committed crimes. We we already figured out, you know,

(10:44):
the war in the mid East. We're not funding one
side of it, we're funding both sides of it. We've
already discussed this, but now it's happened again, this time
with the stoves. Hence the reason I played that sound
bite at the beginning of the segment. Give me fu
of all the dumb things to regulate. You know, they'll
tell you we need to get rid of the beef
in the cattle because the bovine farts or burps or

(11:07):
whatever talking point they're using is creating too much carbon pollution. Okay, fine, airplanes,
they'll tell you airplanes are causing too many problems. We
can't have you flying private or commercial while while we're
flying in private jets to go to climate change summits,
you can't sit in an economy plus for a little
extra leg room, your nut job. That's what they'd have

(11:28):
you believe.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well, now here we are again with the gas stove controversy.
If they get rid of the gas stoves, what does
that really change? In the grand scyp. Pretend you believe
in climate change theory, man made climate change theory. Your
carbon footprint is slowly warming the earth. Pretend you believe that.
Do you think a gas burning stove is making that
big of a difference when you consider how much fuel

(11:50):
it takes. How much time do you spend boiling water
to make macaroni and cheese? What like a few minutes
a week? What is it even entailed? It's not much,
but even still we're having this conversation again. According to
a report today Realclear Energy, Realclear Energy dot Com, the
people on the left, particularly people surrounding Kamala Harris, are

(12:11):
embracing a ban on gas stoves. And it's my humble
opinion the only reason they're doing this is because they
know they can shut down you're electric stove remotely, but
if you've got a propane tank, they can't stop you
from cooking food. Am I crazy? Daniel Turner from Power
of the Future Or is that really what this is about?

Speaker 5 (12:30):
No, not at all crazy. I mean this is part
of the larger campaign to get rid of the back
end use of fossil fuel. Right on the front end.
You crush the fossil fuel industry by slowing up the
permitting process, right, by denying access to land, you get
all the green groups to soon NonStop you use ESG right,

(12:50):
the environment Social Governance movement to stop their financing, and
you get Greta Thunberg and all of her little minions
to throw bricks at the windows of bank saying, you know,
you can't finance fossil fuel industry. But on the back
that's all you do on the front end, But on
the back end to what these what these people do
is they try to get rid of all the products
that use fossil fuels. And so you get rid of

(13:12):
the gas powered car. And now with this rule that
was finalized that the Department of Energy, you get rid
of the gas powered stove. And then their goal is
that if you crush it from both sides, they can say, well,
it looks like we didn't really even need fossil fuels
to begin with. Or when prices go through the roof,
which is what has happened already, I think you just

(13:32):
call them greedy, right, you say, these fossil fuel companies
are greedy. Look at how their prices are so expensive.
So you make them the bad guy. So these are
very very deliberate, calculated actions. These people are are not stupid.
They're evil, but they are not stupid. And so yeah,
these rules that were put in place very quietly announced

(13:53):
you're talking about it. Thank goodness. I wrote about it
in Real Clear Energy, but didn't make mainstream news cover.
No one is talking about this because the vibes, the vibe,
all the vibes.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, joy and vibes, joy and vibes. Okay. So three
years ago we were all told we were crazy when
the Biden administration was rumored to be pushing for a
ban on gas stoves. And as we've just pointed out,
they that absolutely happened. Hell in New York State, that
became a reality. Kathy Hlkel rhymes with local yokol decided
to do exactly that, and they pushed forward in other

(14:25):
states as well, places like Oregon and California. We were
told we were crazy for noticing that on a government
website they were spending tens of millions of dollars for
safe crack pipe smoking kits. And then lo and behold
fake safe crackspipe if such a thing could exist. Safe
crack pipe smoking kits started showing up at drug clinics
around America, and now apparently the gaes stove controversy is

(14:49):
back again. Didn't they also want to do something with
pizza ovens wood burning pizza ovens.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yes, New York had about one hundred and twenty coal
burning pizza ovens, go and even further back from wood
and Eric Adams banned them and said you can no
longer have coal burning pizza ovens, of course because of
climate change. And even those are these are one hundred
year old institutions that as a New Yorker I know
and you know are famous, et cetera, and are on

(15:16):
all those TV shows people lining up to try their pizza.
They will be I think the effect. I think the
band actually goes into effects starting on the uh starting
on next year, so twenty twenty five. But yeah, there
are just part of their ongoing effort to punish everything
that they don't like.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'll admit one of the only reasons I go look
at Real Clear the Real Clear websites is because the
Real Clear Politics poll is considered the poll of polls.
But you published this article for Real Clear Energy. I
almost forgot that website existed and I went and looked
at it to check out your latest article. You did
a great job on it. You made a lot of
awesome points, some of which you just made on the
show moments ago. But as I'm glancing at this news website,

(15:57):
I need to look at this more often. I did
realize Lamborghini, Oh god, this is horrible, Daniel, Lamborghini is
pushing for an EV. I can't imagine a more flaccid, joyless, unsexy.
How did Lamborghini make a car that can't get you laid?

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Yeah? Exactly, you know, and this is because there's so
much money in the business, and it's because it, you know,
wins you a favor with your elected officials. And I'm
sure Italy has the same climate crazy that we do,
and you'd make these little gestures. You know that if
you ever go belly up, you can always go to
big Daddy government for a bailout. It's kind of why

(16:36):
Ford and GM have gone all in on the EV
stuff here as well. You get all these government subsidies,
you get all these government accolades for doing it, and
you know that if things don't work, and they never do,
government will bail you out. We've got fifty sixty years
of history of the automakers going to government for a bailout.

(16:57):
You can find old YouTube videos of our beloved Milton
Friedman and the late Phil Donnie who just died a
couple of days ago debating whether or not we should
bail out Chrysler. And this is nineteen seventy eight, the
debating whether or not we should bail out Chrysler, and
of course Phil is saying, you have to you have
to keep this industry alive. So it doesn't matter if

(17:17):
the evs don't work or no one buys them. Government
will rescue you. So you know, what's the purpose of
making any product at that point, Kenny, what's the purpose
of doing anything if government just bails you out on
the back end?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh dude, it's such a good point, Daniel. All right.
So there's nothing on Kamala's website about her ban on
guest stoves, because there's nothing on her website about any
of her policies. And we've never really seen this before.
Four years ago, Joe Biden ran what would they call it,
a shadow campaign or a basement campaign. He won quote
unquote one simply by not going out and doing anything,

(17:50):
and we never thought we'd see anything like that again.
But now Kamala is really doing it. Yesterday a lot
of her supporters were trying to dunk on Donald Trump
for showing up at a mill terry funeral and giving
a thumbs up in a photo. And for those that
have seen the photo, the family members of the deceased
military members, the servicemen and women in the photo are

(18:10):
doing like a heavy metal you know, the Longhorn sign
with their hands if you will, to show that their
loved one who died loved heavy metal or rock and
roll or whatever. And Donald Trump's giving a thumbs up
because it's a little more appropriate and if it was
inappropriate for him to do this, as they're pointing out,
I can't help but notice Kamala wasn't at the memorial yesterday.
Joe Biden is on vacation again. Can you really win

(18:33):
by running a campaign like this?

Speaker 5 (18:36):
This is what they're trying to do, no doubt. And
Biden had a huge advantage in twenty twenty and that
was COVID, and they used it wisely. They didn't have
to explain why he wasn't doing campaign events because there
was a pandemic and it was putting people's lives at
risk if you spoke publicly, so Biden was given the

(18:56):
ability to hide. They're hoping that since it worked, it
will work again now. But there's no reason for Kamalata hide.
The only reason why there is for her to hide
is because when she does speak, she's a disaster and
she can't explain any of her positions because she doesn't
have any. She can't explain any of her flip flops. Right,
fracking band, no fracking band, single payer healthcare, no, single

(19:19):
payer health care?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Right.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah. Suddenly and suddenly, an anonymous campaign official is telling
everybody that Kamala supports building building a border wall. Well,
holy hell, that's news to a lot of folks. They
stops construction of the border wall. You would think any
member of the media worth their weight in salt would say,
I'm sorry, Madam Vice President, You've got to explain what's

(19:42):
going on here. But they won't, right, because they're all
in on the tank. Just look at the Jonathan Carl
interview with Tom Cotton, Senator Tom Cotton over the weekend. Right,
all the media they're just doing their part because God almighty,
they want to be invited to the White House Christmas
Party so bad they'll do whatever it takes.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, you raise a lot of great points there. I mean,
during the DNC last week, Ted Cruz's opponent Colin Alright,
a guy who's adamantly opposed to anything involving the Island
gas industry and wants to put any every energy worker
in the state out of work, was giving a speech
to the DNC about what he supported, and it was
exactly what you think, you know, abortion rights and trans this,

(20:20):
and then suddenly he said secure the border. And you
could hear a pin drop in the room. It was
so quiet. It was like people were confused, Wait, am
I at the wrong convention or something.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Exactly? And look at the you know, Kamala speaking suddenly
about freedom and how she believes in freedom, which is
a load of crap, right, you know, she believes in
freedom except here's the band on your guest.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Though, we believe in.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Freedom except we want to tell you what type of
car you have to drive. We believe in freedom, except
we want to dictate where your kids go to school. Right,
So she doesn't believe. But she had, she knew she
had to say the words. You know, she knew she
had to invote Tim Waltz and voke George Washington, probably
the first time George Washington's been evoked a Democrat convention,
I mean since the eighties. Right, they're not fans of

(21:05):
the founding fathers. They're not fans of our founding documents,
so they know they have to say certain things just
to pass the Smith test. Oh, I should use that
example for Biden, not Kamala. When it comes to Smith test,
I'll find another. I'll find another example for Kamala. But
they need, they need to do something to pass muster.

(21:26):
So yeah, they're throwing out all the necessary bud buzzwords
and all the necessary phrases to try to keep everyone
off the send. But again it's again off the scent, Kenny.
I keep using these smelling words and we're not even
talking about Joe Biden and little girls. I'm getting confused.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
I'm sorry. Daniel Turner Power the Future, Go to Power
the Future dot Com. If you work in the Island
gas industry, if you do business with people in the
energy industry. Daniel is one of the people the canaries
in the mind shaft, if you will, that's warning you
about what is to come if Kamala gets elected. He's
definitely somebody you need to be following on social media.
We're listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. I guess

(22:03):
it's not available in Canada. I have to play royalty
free bumper music when we come back from break. Normally,
when we're just doing a regular radio show and social
media is not involved, I could play pretty much anything
I want because we have asscav licensing fees, but when
you're on social media, we don't, so instead I have
to play this generic surfrock crap. Anyway, we're back from break.

(22:24):
Greetings kids, Who was I gonna say?

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, the FDA. Exciting news. The FDA just approved and
updated the COVID nineteen shots new vaccines, vaccines they call them,
if that's even what they are. And of course you
could trust the FDA, right The FDA has approved updated
COVID shots. Technically, I think the micro chips inside the
shots have been updated, but you get the point. Anyway,

(22:46):
Thanks so much for turning on your radio this afternoon.
You're watching us on social media, and if you are
watching us on social media, you probably know I used
to do this radio show live every afternoon, and I
would stream it on Facebook and one hundreds, sometimes thousands
of people would watch. In a single instance, we would
get some really big numbers of people tuning in to
watch my humble little radio show. Every afternoon. And then

(23:08):
something happened right around I don't know, maybe one or
two days after the twenty twenty election. We went from
having this massive reach on social media to having almost
no reach. Granted, our follower account didn't change. My morning
show that I'm the co host and executive producer of
has about a half a million followers on Facebook, and

(23:30):
you know radio listeners demographic tends to skew a little older,
but that's where they like to be Facebook. And then
we had some other followers in places like Instagram, Twitter, YouTube.
You're familiar with these websites, odds are You've probably used
them for years now. After the twenty twenty election happened
that night, we all went to bed thinking Donald Trump
was the winner. You remember you were there, and when
you walk up the next morning, what happened? Weird? Weird?

(23:53):
Even Fox News said Joe Biden one who got to
these people? Why did everything suddenly change? And then in
the days that followed, if you criticized vaccines or the
election results, or had anything to say about January sixth,
suddenly your social media accounts in places not just Facebook
or Instagram, but other websites like YouTube and Twitter. It

(24:14):
was like you had a faucet that had water pouring
out of it and someone just turned the tap and
it stopped. Our Facebook analytics told us that right before
the twenty twenty election, we were reaching about eighty million
people a month with our massive Facebook following, and then
a few days later it was like one hundred thousand,
and then it was ten thousand. What happened didn't make

(24:36):
any sense. We know what happened. The algorithm was designed
to censor conservative voices. We knew it at the time.
And now a very unlikely person has come out and
basically said that. But before I get to what he said,
let's talk about now what he said this week. Let's
talk about what he said about a month ago. Donald
Trump had just been shot and instead of laying down

(24:57):
and crying or dying, Donald Trump, with blood dripping out
of his ears, stood up and set fight fight. And
apparently one guy who has just recently decided to get
really into mixed martial arts and weightlifting and started hanging
out around a bunch of guys who I presume eat
red meat and probably lean a bit to the right.
Suddenly this guy, Mark Zuckerberg, the beta boy of Soy

(25:20):
boy cuckled Beta bitches had a change of heart about
the Republican Party.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
I've done some stuff personally in the past. I'm not
planning on doing that this time. And then includes you know,
not endorsing either of the candidates. Now, look, there's obviously
a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world.
I mean the historic events over the last like over
the weekend, and I mean a personal note, it's yeah,
I mean seeing Donald Trump get get up after getting

(25:45):
shot in the face and pump his fist in the
air with the American flag is one of the most
badass things I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
But pause, let's pause it right there, the red pilling
of Silicon Valley. Could it be? Could it actually be happening?
I don't know. It's too soon to say for sure,
but I will tell you this. With the CEO of
Telegram getting arrested the other day in France and the
CEO of Rumbull fleeing on a plane to get out
of Europe as fast as he could, and let's not
forget that anti trust lawsuit the DOJ is recently launched

(26:17):
against Apple. Maybe people in Silicon Valley are starting to
realize that with people like Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren
and Bernie Sanders in charge of the Democrat Party, Silicon
Valley CEOs aren't as bulletproof figuratively speaking against the almighty
government as they previously thought that they were. So Mark
Zuckerberg suddenly became a fan of Donald Trump recently, not

(26:40):
something a lot of us were expecting. And then yesterday
we learned that Mark Zuckerberg came out and admitted that
at the end of the twenty twenty election, in the
middle of the pandemic, just as January sixth was about
to pop off, Mark Zuckerberg admitted the reason they were
censoring news story He's like Hunter Biden's laptop, for example,

(27:02):
was because the federal government put them up to it,
and people noticed, here's a familiar face, mister Donald J. Trump.
The JAY stands for genius. So Mark Zuckeberg called me.
First of all, he called me a few times.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
He called me after the event, and he said that
was really amazing.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
It was very brave, and you know, and he.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
Actually announced he's not going to support a Democrat because
he can't because he respected me for what I did
that day.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I think what I did. Maybe was a normal to me.
It was a normal response.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
But I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, the day
before or this same subject, and he actually apologized.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
You said they made a mistake, etc. Et cetera, and
they're correcting the mistake. Google. Nobody called from Google.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
So we got a statement at Fox Business from Google.
They said, this fact check was initially applied to a
doctor photo showing the Secret Service agents smiling, and in
some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to
the real photo.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
It has been fixed.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
We apologize for it.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Let's pause it right there, so you guys get this right.
You've heard about this if you're a right wing libertarian, republican, conservative, constitutionalists, populist, nationalists,
whatever ist or ism you put after your description of
what your ideological beliefs are. This was never supposed to happen.
Were We've had PolitiFact and Snopes and all these third

(28:18):
party so called fact checking websites telling us that the
hand in front of your face is not a hand
that belongs to your body, but a fist of Donald
Trump that's about to punch you and you're supposed to
be afraid of it, and that the what is Jesse
Kelly always say the sky is green and the grass
is red, and whatever thing you think you can see
as clear as day right in front of your face.

(28:40):
We've had websites like PolitiFact and Snopes, which purportedly are
actually operated by former intelligence agents lying to us left
and right. People that used to work at the CIA
and the FBI are now in charge of deciding what's
true and false on the Internet. Yeah, it's pretty safe
to say you're not crazy for being suspicious of this.
So we learned that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now

(29:03):
admitting to censoring information on the major social media platform
Facebook and Instagram after having pressure from the Biden Harris
administration that he is standing up and admitting this out loud.
A lot of you might wonder, can we trust this guy? Well, look,
for the time being, I think we have to remember
we're conservatives. We're right wing thinkers. We reject cancel culture.

(29:24):
Once upon a time, Elon Musk was a mouthpiece for
the alphabet people and a climate change activist. And look
how much he's changed. If it wasn't for Elon Musk,
we wouldn't have Twitter a x X. Maybe maybe this
is a sign of the times, maybe we should embrace
Mark Zuckerberg. I mean, okay, granted it's probably too soon
to be certain on that, but he wrote this letter

(29:45):
to the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. He was
published yesterday, and Zuckerberg, as they explained it townhall dot Com,
expressed regret for helping the Biden administration eliminate factual information
about the COVID nineteen pandemic from the internet. Now you
remember that whole thing about six feet social distancing that
was not based on a scientific study. They made that up.

(30:08):
You remember the whole lab leak theory. Fauci actually told
social media websites not to allow people to talk about that,
that it was a far fetched conspiracy theory. And then
we learned why Fauci in the National Institute of Health
were actually funding the laboratory in China where they were
doing the gain of function research that probably most likely
created the COVID nineteen pandemic. So the letter came in

(30:31):
response to an inquiry from the committee about the Biden
Harris Administration's ongoing efforts to censor speech online. The House
Oversight Committee is investigating and what we've learned is a
few things here. The Biden Harris administration pressured Facebook to
censor Americans. Basically, we already knew that, but now Facebook's
admitting it. We also knew that Facebook censored Americans. You

(30:51):
know that you probably got censored on Facebook. It's probably
the reason a lot of you don't use that website anymore.
And Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story. This is
a big win for free speech. Looking back on it,
everything's always twenty twenty in hindsight. But as I'm live
streaming this afternoon on social media, I can tell you
right now we still have a massive following on Facebook,

(31:12):
and the damage was done because despite how many followers
we have on Facebook, most of you aren't using it anymore.
Right now, there are hundreds of people watching me on
Twitter as I'm talking to you, guys, a few hundred,
and there's like a couple dozen watching me on Facebook.
What's It's quite a difference, especially when you consider my
Facebook page has more followers than my Twitter account does.

(31:34):
So am I still being shadow band or did people
just leave the platform? I guess either of those things
as possible, And I'll wrap up this little rant with
this Mark Zuckerberg may have seen the light. Maybe hanging
out with mixed martial artists and eating red meat and
lifting weights has changed his way of thinking. Hell, John
Fetterman went to the Walter Reed's Hospital in Washington, DC,

(31:54):
and after his brain got fixed, he became more conservative,
didn't he. So maybe that's happening in Mark Zuckerber. Maybe
not either way, at least for the time being. We
have advocacy for the truth happening on social media. We
have people in Silicon Valley realizing that liberal Democrats aren't
always your friends. And while that isn't necessarily a win
or a victory, it certainly is better than it could be. Hello,

(32:21):
my name is Pedro.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
My favorite things to do as smuggle drugs, pro create
like a rabbit, and listen to Pursuit of Happiness Radio
with producer Keini. Peace to Be.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Rob Schneider, the former Saturday Night Live comedian, is urging
RFK Junior supporters to vote for Trump. Of course, RFK
Junior is doing that as well. If you had told
me the fate of the Republic could fall in the
hands of Rob Schneider an RFK Junior ten years ago,
I would have assumed you were lying to me, I
would not have believed it. But here we are. Up

(32:54):
is down, down is up? Heck the latest we were
just talking about this. Elon Musk isn't the only ten
billionaire who's now pointing out that maybe Donald Trump's not
the worst guy in the world. Mark Zuckerberg has now
come out and said, actually, it was the Biden administration
that was pressuring us to censor Americans on social media.
I gotta think spending time around all those MMA fighters

(33:16):
has changed the man. Well that's a good thing, because
there does seem to be a change happening in the
air in America.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I know.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Ever since last week's DNC, the Big Democrat Convention, the
liberal media has everybody on our side suddenly feeling a
little glum, a little pessimistic. Don't the poll numbers are
better than you think? In fact, I find a lot
I'm to be very misleading right now. Virginia is in
play for Donald Trump. If Virginia is in play for

(33:42):
Donald Trump, that tells you that Michigan and Pennsylvania in
Wisconsin that are all more conservative than Virginia, that those
places are probably going to be going to the Donald
Trump as at least one of those states is probably
going to be won by Trump. And then there's the border.
I can't think of an issue right now other than
the ac or multiple wars happening around the world that's

(34:03):
more important than the border. But of course all those
things kind of fall under the same umbrella, don't they.
There is a war happening at our border, and it
is hurting our economy. And today we learned Kamala Harris
and the Biden administration lost three hundred thousand migrant children,
illegal kids, whatever you want to call them. They're people,
their children, their little kids. They didn't have a choice
to come here. We lost them lost. That's pretty shocking news.

(34:29):
I can't help but think back to four years ago
when Kamala Harris was running for president, telling us Donald
Trump was the biggest hitler whoever hitler because he separated
children from their parents. But isn't that exactly what Biden
and Kamala did. Michael Quinnsullivan from Texas scorecard dot Com.

Speaker 10 (34:47):
Yeah, look, I mean it's even worse what you had
Donald the Trump administration doing was separating children from people
who were being not from their parents, but from adults
bringing them across the left wing media and the Democrats
also know they're being separated from their parents because that
sounds horrible and mean. In fact, what they were doing
was separating the way from the you know, from the

(35:07):
one of the pimps and cartel numbers who are bringing
these kids across. And you know, so so okay, well
let's pretend no matter what you call those adults that
were separated from you know, well, maybe come alla will
take care of those. Our borders are will take care
of those kids, and maybe, you know, maybe there's a better.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
Way to take care of them.

Speaker 10 (35:27):
And in fact, when an Inspector General's report has just
come out and shown is that, you know, almost two
hundred ninety thousand, almost three hundred thousand children have been
lost by the Biden administration. They can't find them, They
don't know where they are. They know, they know, they
just know the ice under the Biden administration just release

(35:48):
them to random adults.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
We don't know who.

Speaker 10 (35:51):
And so the federal government not doing its job keeping
track of these illegal aliens. And you know, it's it's horrifying.
You saw that movie Sound Freedom. It is horrifying to
think what is happening to those three hundred thousand kids
that Kamala Harris because they were no longer useful props
and in her campaign of lies against Donald Trump back

(36:14):
in twenty twenty, no longer useful props.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
And so you know what do they care?

Speaker 10 (36:18):
And that absolutely horrifying what Kamala Harris is allowed to
happen at.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
Our southern border.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
You know, I almost forgot about this, Michael ten years ago.
It was twenty fourteen. Joe Biden, his brain wasn't quite
as broken as it is today. Of course, he still
gave us a lot of word salads with probably awful
kale salad dressing on top of him. He was down
in Guatemala City giving a speech about exactly what we're
talking about right now, and he said at the time,
something's got to be done. Something needs to be done

(36:45):
about the Texas Mexico border. He was down there with
the President of Guatemala talking about slowing the many migrants,
the human trafficking that was going on, children, people, innocent
people often being forced into indentured servitude and works, same guy,
same administration. Ten years later. Nothing has really changed, has it?

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Well it well, something has changed. It's actually gotten worse.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
It is.

Speaker 10 (37:11):
It has actually gotten worse thanks to the policies of
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
It has actually gotten worse.

Speaker 10 (37:20):
Uh, you you know, with intersectional politics and the you know,
and and and their their theology of oppression and everything else.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
Uh that they have made things worse.

Speaker 10 (37:31):
And again, I'm gonna keep coming back to this, Kenny,
forgive me on a broken record for a second. It
doesn't get much worse than the thought of what happens
to an eleven year old little girl, an eight year
old little girl who was brought across the border illyally
by cartels and coyotes and then gets lost. It's horrifying, Kenny,

(37:54):
to think what has happened to that child, a human being,
not a number, a human being that the Biden administration
just go, well, you know whatever, We'll look the other way,
you know. And and it's all because these policies put
in place saying, come one, come on, we need to
flood the border with illegal aliens so that we can

(38:16):
maybe get a few of them registered to bot we
can create chaos in our in our streets, chaos and
and all those problems that you know come with illegal immigration.
Are you know our music to the ears of totalitarians.
They need underrest, they need human suffering in order to
impose their their policies on us. And and I look

(38:38):
at the Southern border canyon. I think of three hundred
thousand children in the last four years who have come across,
and we have no idea what's happened to them. That is,
you know that that alone should put Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris in front of some you know, war war
crimes tribunal or you know, justice of the peace down

(38:59):
in SOUTHUS something.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
This is We're fine, But.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
My brother perfectly explained Michael, I mean, you're right about
every word you just said. And three hundred thousand kids
getting lost is the result of Democrats trying to manipulate
the system to help them out in elections. Because I'm
sure most of our listeners will remember, especially the older
listeners right now, we'll probably remember twenty or thirty years ago,
the Democrats wanted a border wall. They wanted fence at

(39:23):
the border. They wanted to protect low income workers' rights
around the country. That was their motivation was low income
black voters didn't like illegal immigration because it was bad
for their bank accounts. And then suddenly the Democrat Party
realized over the last decade or so, you know what,
actually illegal immigration's good for us because most of the time,

(39:44):
these first generation immigrants end up voting Democrat, and maybe
they don't vote Democrats second generation, but we'll worry about
that in another twenty or thirty years. So they opened
up the border. Three hundred thousand kids got trafficked, which
is absolutely disgusting, and thank god people are doing so
think about it. The state of Ohio, Texas. Now we've
just learned today Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has stepped in

(40:06):
and sign an executive order making it illegal for non
citizens to vote. Michael, can you believe there's even a
need for this.

Speaker 10 (40:14):
I mean, it is a bit baffling that we're at
this place where, you know, you had guys like Martin
Luther King junior.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
You had women like Susan B. Anthony, who you know, who.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
Argued bis vociferously for how sacred it is the right
of a citizen to vote. And now you know, fast
forward a century in the case of Susan Anthony, you know,
half a century in the case of Martin Luther King junior,
no tomorrow. It was the anniversary of his I had
a dream speech there, and I have a dream speech

(40:46):
here in Washington, d C. And here we are now,
you know, fifty some years later, and and and Democrats
are saying, oh, no, we'll just teid whoever wants to it,
you know, just show up, you know, give us four
or five names. We'll give you four or five voting cards.
You know, I mean that, you know, the value of
the vote has been diminished because of the policies by
the Democrats. And so, yeah, it's insane we have to

(41:08):
say this, but apparently in the same way that I
have to put up, you know, a little sign that says,
you know, uh, you know, don't break into my building.

Speaker 6 (41:17):
You know, I get.

Speaker 10 (41:18):
I mean, this is we're in crazy land, Kenny, and
all of us as citizens have to start acting like adults,
because the left wing politicians are certainly not acting like adults.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah. And of course, the crisis of the border isn't
just limited to hurting our economy. It's not just limited
to affecting election integrity. It's also an issue of national security.
And I can't think of another better example of that
than these Chinese agents coming over the border and purchasing
farmland around military bases. You guys just did something remarkable.
You have a new documentary, Red Power, that it was

(41:53):
released this morning. I've got to tell you people, I've
only watched a little bit of this. It is so
well produced, it is so done. You can watch it
at Texas squarecard dot com. Michael, for those who haven't
seen the trailer, heard about the work you guys are doing.
What is red Power?

Speaker 6 (42:08):
What we're looking at, ken, It is is the.

Speaker 10 (42:10):
Way that we have allowed our once reliable, efficient, low
cost electric power system Mark energy grid to become unreliable,
to become expensive, to become inefficient. And we've done so
in the name of green energy. And what we have
found is that green energy not only does it mean

(42:34):
you spend more money with a less efficient system, but
that money that you are spending, the money that's being
going to the subsidies for solar panels and windmills, are
going into the pockets of the Chinese Communist Party. They're
going to the pockets of the of the of the
chi cooms in Beijing, who are who are themselves not

(42:55):
only using this to weaken our economy, weaken our productivity,
but then taking those dollars and building up their own economy,
building up very reliable energy.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
In the United States, we're not building.

Speaker 8 (43:08):
Any natural gas plants right now, not only being constructed
here and there. It's not a single nuclear reactors being
built the Indian Island speak right now.

Speaker 10 (43:20):
In China, they have plans from one hundred niclar reactors.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
And they're building a coal fired natural gas are a
coal fired.

Speaker 10 (43:29):
Power plant one every three days, one every three days.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Wow, China building and we're building money.

Speaker 10 (43:39):
We are We're making ourselves weaker, We're making ourselves impoverished.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
And that's what Red Power takes a look at.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Wow, Red Power looks incredible. I got to encourage people
go to Texas scorecard dot com today, watch the documentary
